Kabbalah is an ancient mystic branch of Judaism. Its fundamental belief is that ten aspects (sefirot) created and sustained the universe. The sefirot are graduated and have different, complex meanings. Two of the main ones have interchangeable meanings. It just depends on if if is seen from human or divine viewpoint.

Seven of these levels act directly on the world. They are the lowest sefirot. The higher sefirot represent higher realms of consciousness. Each one is associated with a character in Jewish scripture. Followers can understand these characters more by the sefirot connected with them. Conversely, they can understand each sefirot by studying its corresponding character. Here are the different sefirots recognized in Kabbalah Center:

• Crown (Keter): This is the Divine Will of God and the source of all good things. It has the power that corresponds with the human soul.

• Wisdom (Chochmah): Wisdom is knowledge in practice. It represents intuition. Wisdom is the power to distinguish and create.

• Understanding (Binah): Understanding is the tool of wisdom. It is the analytical power of the mind and logic.

• Kingdom (Malkut) This is sovereignty and rights of the Divine Presence. The character associated with Kingdom is David.
